**Title, of David** = by David.
**the servant of the Lord.** In the Hebrew text these two words are reversed, and the title stands thus: "Relating to Jehovah's servant, by David ". This is exactly what it is. His prayer and praise in view of [Psalms 22](../../../kjv/psalms/22) (see p. 721, and [Isaiah 42:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/42/1) , &c), in death and resurrection. [Psalms 18](../../../kjv/psalms/18) is the only other Psalm so entitled.
**transgression** = rebellion. Hebrew *pasha'* . App-44 .
**the wicked** = a lawless one. Hebrew *rasha'.* App-44 .
**saith** : declareth, as an oracle. Hebrew *na'am.* Compare [Jeremiah 23:31](../../../kjv/jeremiah/23/31) = declareth. Figure of speech *Prosopopoeia.* App-6 .
**within my heart** = within me; "my heart" being put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of the Part), App-6 , for the whole person: i.e. assureth or convinceth me that, &c. Not seeing the Figure of speech, or the force of the Hebrew *na'am,* many follow the hypothesis of the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, and read "his heart".
**there is, &c.** Quoted in [Romans 3:18](../../../kjv/romans/3/18) .
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . His relation, as Creator, to His creatures. This lawless one knows not Jehovah; and fears not Elohim.
**his eyes.** Answering to "his heart" in preceding clause.

**iniquity.** Hebrew ' *a* vah.

**iniquity.** Hebrew. *'aven.* App-44 .

**mischief.** Hebrew. *'aven,* as in [Psalms 36:3](../../../kjv/psalms/36/3) , "iniquity".
**setteth himself** = taketh his stand.
**evil.** Hebrew. *ra'a"* . App-44 .

**mercy** = lovingkindness, or grace (as in [Psalms 36:7](../../../kjv/psalms/36/7) ).
**LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . mountains: i.e. great and mighty.
**Thy judgments** = And Thy just decrees. The "And" was cancelled by the Massorites (see the Babylonian Talmud *Nedarim,* 37b-38a). Ginsburg *Int.* (pp. 307-8).
**LORD** = Jehovah, because of *preservation,* which is more than creation. See App-4 .
**man.** Hebrew. *'adam.* App-14 .

**lovingkindness.** Compare "mercy", [Psalms 36:5](../../../kjv/psalms/36/5) .
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* ( App-4 .), because of His creatures, the sons of men.
**children** = sons.
**put their trust under** = flee for refuge to. Hebrew. *hasah.* App-69 .
**wings.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia.* App-6 .

**river** = full stream. Hebrew. *nahal.* Refers to Paradise.

**continue** = prolong.
